Aspetti della rivoluzione nanotecnologica nell’architettura: Gli “smart materials” nella riscoperta di una architettura organica

In light of the now started " nanotechnology revolution ", which implies a radical change encompasses not only the products of nanoinnovazione, but also calls into question the processes of design and production in various fields and sectors and at different levels of intervention, is happening a restatement and reaffirmation, in terms of design and technological innovation, of the ideology and principles of organic architecture that Frank Lloyd Wright was the ideologue and the precursor. The research, its organic architecture, of th design solutions and technical architecture that stemmed mainly from biology and the observation of nature, according to an organic and eco-friendly approach to the design of the architecture and, more broadly, to the transformation of ' built environment, is currently new and unexplored possibilities and lines of development. If ideology Wright is directed not the definition of static forms but rather the definition of scenarios and continuously changeable conditions, had to adapt to a limited technique and technological relegated to a utopian thought the concrete realization of an architecture able to implement a " dynamic ecological process" characterized by a continuous change in response to the continuous changes that occur in nature, or in response to the changing conditions of the state of the environment, the nanotechnology revolution may now be able to implement and lead to a real fulfillment of the yearnings "organic vision” of architecture: the morphology and the constituent materials of the buildings can now aspire to follow the natural flow of energy and environmental, such as sun, light, heat, wind, electric fields, electromagnetic fields. The ideal of an adaptive architecture is now becoming less and less utopian and more truly actionable and achievable in practice, mainly in relation to the creation and development of "smart materials", characterized by the peculiarity of changing their characteristics and their performance responses as a function of the variability of the stimuli and external stresses.
